Abstract
An apparatus includes a chassis housing a control server compartment, a compute server compartment, and an input and output (IO) subsystem compartment. The apparatus further includes an IO subsystem inserted into the IO subsystem compartment, a compute server inserted into the compute server compartment, and a control server inserted into the control server compartment coupled to the compute server via an Ethernet connection. The IO subsystem includes one or more IO modules, where at least some of the IO modules can be coupled to sensors. The compute server receives the sensor data from the IO subsystem via some PCIe links and generates planning and control data based on the sensor data for controlling the autonomous vehicle. The control server controls and operates the autonomous vehicle by sending control commands to hardware of the autonomous vehicle based on the planning and control data received from the compute server.
